No, it isn't.  The Academic Index system always allowed them to admit athletes with lower SAT scores, even under test-required.  That's why it hasn't been an impediment for the Ivies that have gone back to requiring tests.

It's for FGLI and URM.  Princeton is uniquely focused among the top schools on getting FGLI and URM students, and TO enables them to do so without having to worry about the data showing that the scoring profile of such students is much lower. [/quote]

If that is an important mission for the school and they are serious about achieving it, good for them.  If you are against supporting FGLI or URM students, then Princeton does not seem like a good fit for you.[/quote]

It’s not good that Princeton is now basically closed to unhooked, very high-achieving white MC and UMC kids with great test scores. It’s why folks like Rufo are going after the school and most of America won’t care if it gets taxed into oblivion. [/quote]

You throw a tantrum because Princeton wants to ensure they can serve some underprivileged students?

Why find a college that wants to serve your student instead of throwing a tantrum and trying to smack around a college that isn't behaving according to your standards?   [/quote]

It's silly that Princeton has refashioned itself as the City College of New York in suburban New Jersey. [/quote]
